Natural Childbirth Consultations
We offer a unique Birth Consultation service that provides you with individualized information that is specific to you needs and philosophy. This is a private consultation between myself and the parents-to-be. When you become pregnant the information can be overwhelming. My Birth Consultation service can assist you and your family in clarifying your needs and goals as well as how to make informed decisions about what will be best for your family. In addition to the session my birth consultation clients have access to my resource information, which includes articles, magazines, books and book lists relating to pregnancy, labor and birth, postpartum and newborn care, breastfeeding and much more. This resource library makes your researching much easier because I have done most of it already!
My Birth Consultation service includes three prenatal sessions and one postpartum session to process and discuss you birth experience.
Topics to be discussed:
- Understanding the nature of giving birth
- Creating a birth philosophy and goals
- Choosing a care provider and a birth setting that matches your philosophy
- Choosing a birth support personal
- Creating a birth plan and making/enforcing informed decision
- Creating a postpartum plan
